UPDATE IN OP disappearing morning sickness

[creepyeyeball]

I have spent the last five weeks just praying that I could feel human enough to care for my family. Now at nine weeks I suddenly woke up feeling normal and energetic and now I am freaking out about it. I hate that I can't just enjoy not feeling like I have to puke all day and instead am now wishing for the nausea to return for reassurance that I am not miscarrying again.

Update

Had an OB appt today and they weren't willing to do an ultrasound yet. They wanted to wait a week. I couldn't wait that long, so I demanded they order one at the hospital.

Baby is fine. Bouncing around like a little gummy bear with a strong heartbeat. Measuring five days ahead. Now I can relax and finally enjoy being nausra-free. So glaf I demanded the ultrasound. I would have been worrying for a week for nothing. I can finally sleep again.

I have been there - but after several good ultrasounds, I've come to accept that the nausea just comes in waves for me. I tend to have 2-3 good days followed by 2-3 awful days. And as I got in the 9 to 11 week frame, the better mornings have been more frequent.

I know it's hard, but try to enjoy the better feeling days. Symptoms (or lack thereof) just aren't an accurate indicator of what's going on.

And of course, if you are really worried, call the doc.

@ismellbooks, sorry for the awful dream.

I know the feeling. Because I am PGAL and my OB has been with me through my traumatic obstetric history, I would call (I am speaking for myself). I've just been through too much to wait and see. While they can't prevent miscarriages, at least they can give me a peace of mind and let me know what's going on.

Literally, I woke up this morning, picked up my phone and Googled "less morning sickness at 9w3d". So I'm right there with you -- still sick, but feeling better / more functional than last week.

I do think this is a normal time for symptoms to start becoming patchier / less consistent if that makes you feel better. My next u/s is not until Tuesday, so it's a waiting game until then...

This is anecdotal, but my M/S went away at 9 weeks in my last pregnancy, and it has virtually faded at this time with this pregnancy, too.

I think it's normal at this point to have symptoms lessen, but that doesn't mean we don't worry. My nausea and vomiting has lessened since about 9 weeks and I try to talk down the worry. I've had a bad cold over the weekend and that has made me not feel as pregnant, but I'm trying to remind myself that symptoms come and go. I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise!

((hugs)) PGAL brain is a bitch.

I'm also PGAL and also freaking out because my main symptoms seem to barely be there today. My boobs aren't sore and the MS I've been struggling with all day is gone today. I'm 7w4d so seems too early to be feeling better.

I have my 8 week scan next Monday so just have to hang tight but I know exactly how you're feeling and how hard it is too trust things are ok without some kind of evidence. Even if it is just nausea and sore boobs!

I think having good days and bad days is totally normal, but I know that it messes with your head. I hope your scan is reassuring

PGAL brain is such a mind f*ck. I'm feeling better too and am lucky to have an U/S scheduled for Thursday or I'd be a mess too. Loss of symptoms was my first indicator that something wasn't right with my loss (but that was at 7w so much earlier). Call your doc and talk to them. The worse they can say is no and at best you'll get to see your baby. You're not alone.

[creepyeyeball]

Thanks for helping me feel not so alone in these feelings, ladies. I have an appointment on Friday, so hopefully I can get some reassurance there.

Bump for update

Congrats! That's wonderful.

Great update! I'm so glad baby is looking good! How far along are you? It's weird that your OB would refuse to do an ultrasound. I would've done the same thing as you and demanded one!

[wowcheezits]

creepyeyeball thank goodness you stood up to them and got your ultrasound. That's a load off

[steveo]

Great update, and what a relief!

I am 9w5d today.

[craftcrazymama]

And are you still pretty much symptom free? Or have they come back? Your update definitely helped soothe the mind of this PGAL mama who is still feeling pretty much normal and trying not to panic. A little anyway.

[wittyandwaiting]

Yay! Great news! So happy you pushed for the ultrasound.

I haven't thrown up in a week. Went from throwing up 3-4 times a day to not even any nausea. This week I have been able to cook and actually have an appetite. The only time my stomach bothers me is if I go more than three hours without eating something and even then, I don't feel pukey, just "off".

The only symptom I really have is extreme exhaustion. But it isn't constant. I wake up energetic, but if I haven't had a nap, I can barely keep my eyes open by dinnertime.
